Former President Donald Trump’s edge over Vice President Kamala Harris in four critical swing states would translate to an electoral college victory if the presidential election were held today, according to an Emerson College/Nexstar Media poll. The poll, published Thursday, finds that Trump has the advantage over Harris in Arizona, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, while Harris is slightly ahead in Michigan and North Carolina. They are in a dead heat in Nevada. Arizona: Trump: 49 percent Harris: 48 percent Someone else: 2 Undecided: 1 Georgia: Trump: 50 percent Harris: 47 percent Someone else: 2 percent Undecided: 2 percent Pennsylvania: Trump:...

Whether you like it or not, your government will now make you pay for women you’ve never met to kill their unborn babies! An unchallenged court ruling has officially made Nevada the 18th state to start spending Medicaid funds on “free” abortions for low-income women. This decision argues that denying coverage through the taxpayer funded program violates Nevada’s “Equal Rights Amendment” adopted in 2022. “With this victory, more Nevadans will be able to make the best personal medical decisions for themselves and their families,” cheered Erin Bilbray-Kohn, executive director of the Silver State Hope Fund, in a statement obtained by...

The future of the Murdoch media dynasty, a powerful empire that has shaped conservative politics across the English-speaking world for decades, is about to be hashed out in an unlikely venue: a nondescript probate court in Reno, Nevada. Surrounded by parking lots and across the road from a business named “Bail Bonds Unlimited”, it is this courthouse in downtown Reno where Rupert Murdoch and his eldest son Lachlan are set to face off against three of his other children: James, Elisabeth and Prudence. Murdoch, 93, wants to change the trust he set up in 1999 which grants each of the...

One of the primary roles of our state legislatures and the various secretaries of state around the republic is to ensure the validity of our elections. A primary part of making such an assurance is to make sure our voter registration rolls are accurate and up-to-date and only include those who are legally entitled to vote. There have been, in recent years, many efforts to do precisely this, and it speaks volumes that there is always one party in favor of ensuring our voter registration rolls are accurate and valid - and the other party is against any such efforts....

Treasurers and state financial officers representing 14 states sent letters Monday to Costco, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, and McKesson calling on C-suite leaders to resist political pressure to begin selling the chemical abortion drug mifepristone at their pharmacies. The letters were signed by state financial officers of Texas, Alaska, Idaho, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. The letters follow similar outreach in August from firms, financial advisors, and thousands of Costco members representing more than $100 billion in assets under management, including more than $172 million in ownership of the five retailers. “We...

In this video we read from "Life Among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Their Claims," by Sarah Winnemucca Hopkins, published all the way back in 1883. This tells of the Pyramid Lake War that broke out in 1860 between the Piutes and the white settlers near Genoa, Nevada. It also tells the Piute legend of the red-haired cannibalistic people whom the Piutes exterminated several hundred years before this book was written. Transcript linked below video.

The poll is significant because the economy is the “most important issue” to voters, as they weigh casting their ballot, the polling found. The economy outranked other issues as most important by 20 to 30 points across all major swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.

As we reported, that honeymoon for Kamala Harris is looking like it might be over as the American people take a better look at her and her running mate, Tim Walz.

LAS VEGAS, Nevada — The annual leadership meeting of the Republican Jewish Coalition kicked off Wednesday amid speculation that more Jews could vote for former President Donald Trump over concerns about Israel and antisemitism. The gathering, which typically draws hundreds of donors and activists, as well as politicians and candidates, is being held in September this year, rather than in the winter, to have the biggest possible impact at the start of the fall campaign season. American Jews vote overwhelmingly for the Democratic Party, and align themselves with the political left. (Jews in other countries, including Israel, tend to favor...

Tuesday on FNC’s “Hannity,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called Democrat vice-presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) “despicable” for taking a pass on responding to a question on the six slain hostages in Gaza. “So when you look at Israel in particular here, this administration has withheld armed shipments, and they haven’t gotten much especially compared to — especially compared to Ukraine,” host Sean Hannity said. “She — they have constantly called for restraint, restraint, restraint. They have blamed Israel, and they’ve done everything but what they should do, and that’s the right thing which say which would say, well, you...

On Monday afternoon, Burning Man’s exodus line snaked for miles through the Black Rock Desert, but a raging dust storm often prevented drivers from seeing more than a few cars in either direction. Updates to Burning Man Traffic’s account on X suggested wait times of between 4 and 6 hours for much of the day, but that was only from “Greeters to blacktop.” Getting to the Burning Man staff at the event’s perimeter was an hours-long endeavor in itself, as the line was backed up all the way into Black Rock City and moving at a glacial pace. I had...

Burning Man attendees got stuck in a giant dust storm as they tried to leave the playa on Monday. Burning Man is a yearly drug-infested music and art festival in Northern Nevada, in Black Rock City. This year’s festival turned out to be exceptionally degenerate with an ‘orgy dome,’ ‘virgin sacrifice Tens of thousands of ‘Burners’ flocked to the Nevada desert this year to engage in debauchery. Burners got stuck for more than 10 hours in whiteout conditions during their exodus from the desert.

A woman who married then divorced a ghost has summoned the spirit of an American mass murderer – in a prison’s death row. Spooky singer Brocarde says she conjured the ghost of Carroll Edward “Eddie” Cole at The Nevada State Penitentiary in the USA. She was conducting a paranormal investigation at the former jail – and says he tried to possess her body. Brocarde, from Oxfordshire in the UK, was filming while locked inside the execution chamber on its death row.

LAS VEGAS (AP) • A Las Vegas-area elected public official was arrested Wednesday as the suspect in the fatal stabbing of a veteran newspaper reporter whose investigations of the official’s work preceded his primary loss in June. Clark County Public Administrator Robert “Rob” Telles, a Democrat, was taken into custody at his home by police SWAT officers hours after investigators served a search warrant and confiscated vehicles in the criminal probe of the killing of Las Vegas Review-Journal reporter Jeff German, Sheriff Joe Lombardo told the newspaper.

An elected official who allegedly murdered an investigative reporter in Las Vegas will remain in office for months and still get paid while he sits in prison. Clark County Public Administrator Robert Telles was denied bail last week after he was charged in the stabbing death of Jeff German, a Las Vegas Review-Journal journalist who had been probing Telles’ alleged misconduct in office.
